Exchanging $50 Of Us Coinage (Mostly Quarters) For Thai Baht

[a1falang]

Thai banks won't accept coins, and money exchanges probably won't either. Where can I go to exchange US$50 of mostly quarters?

(Edited because ThaiVisa software changed "US coinage" to "Us Coinage", making the subject confusing.)

Think you have hit a dead end on this one....most places including the forex booths will not take coin's off you...keep them in your piggie bank...

50 bucks in quarters is not that much, 5 rolls. If you find a visiting american maybe they would help for a commission or something.

Best place to change US coins for baht is any airport in the US.

I thought as much. Thanks anyway, fellas.

Since a US quarter is about the same size as a Thai 5 baht coin you could trying passing a few while paying for your noodles in the market, but if the food vendor is paying any attention at all he will notice it ain't a 5 baht coin and possibly become vocal. Just kidding. You are probably stuck with the quarters until you make a visit back the States...and I hope that many quarters don't result in an overweight baggage charge.
